My friend always makes fun of me because I say Caribbean wrong. How do you say it?

ETA - Maybe I should be more thorough.

Choice 1 - Care-ih-be-an.

Choice 2 - Cur-ih-be-an.
 

I think it depends on where you live..

like New Orleans for example..

ppl from the south tend to say it "New OrleAns" (where you can hear the A)
ppl .. everywhere else say it "New Orleens"
 
There's a wrong way to say it? That's weird.
 
I used to say it the 2nd way all the time but now I sometimes say it the first way.
 
If I'm talking about POFT, I say the 1st one.

If I'm talking about the resort, I say the second one.

In other things in life it varies.
 
Depends...I usually say Care-a-be-an(pretty much the only way I say it, but mostly because of the movie) but I sometimes say it the other way
